Where Are We Now?

Where Are We Now?

I was filling out an application and I noticed the below:

Please select the racial category or categories with which you most closely identify. Check as many as apply:

 American Indian or Alaska Native (A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.)

 Asian (A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.)

 Black or African American (A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.)

 Hispanic or Latino

 Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific islands.)

 White (A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.)

 I prefer to not answer

 Black or African American (A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.)

 White (A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.)

Really? I thought African's were and always have been of the darker complexion! When did they reclassify the African culture or color other than the darker complexion or what they classify the African or African decedents as “Black”?

I was just reading this post and there are so many conflicting views from so many African-American reading that should not even be commenting of this. But since they are let me say this, read this: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/mencken.htmH. L. MENCKEN QUOTES

Then reread what he is trying to explain to those that understand his struggles. His issues are not with the institutions that hold him, it is with those who has bound his hands and feet to keep him there. Most of these persons are of African descent.

Most American-American’s have benefited from the atrocities of criminal activities and call it snitching.  Most American-American’s have benefited from the atrocities of drug sales brought in by European-American business men and politicians who have built the very establishments that created our college institutions and the format or our K1 thru K12 education system which is and have fail the African-American child. If there were an African-American tribunal structure that condemns those who have failed the African-American community most of us would have been executed. But we continue following those who have created a state of mind for us to follow because it is the right thing to do. Crime is committed by our American government officials, successful American business men and those that are in the community crime rings here and in other countries and we still use and spend the money gained from it. To factor in where we belong in these United States of the Americas is irrelevant to what he is talking about. But what he is not explaining to the untrained reader, like most of us are, it is a reason why he is confessing to us all without going into any details of what he is confessing to. Kwame is a good man and he tried to help the communities that were being neglected by state officials and he did use unlawful ways to do it, but, we all are guilty of those same crimes and refuse to admit it because the system which we live overlook crimes that would otherwise condemn those who created it. You still do not understand what I am talking about or where I am going? Well, this is the problem with the African-American white washed mind. You are blinded by the money that you are receiving and the well-structured conditions which you live away from those who you should be assisting.

They removed the article but I have saved it in my blog: http://s13.zetaboards.com/ShephardFamily/topic/973496/1/...

Another fine read is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume , you should read articles like these to get a better perception of how most thing of our African-American so called professional persons who may be well endowed in the crafts of American Education.
